Dear Gurus, In my daughter's English text book, we can find the following questions and answers: 1. What kind of life does Jill want? - She wants an ordinary life. 2. What kind of a life will they have together? - We'll have an ordinary life together. As I know, 'What kind of water...' doesn't need 'a' (because 'water' here is an uncountable noun), but 'What kind of a book...' needs 'a' ('cause 'book' is a countable noun). So, the question is: why in those (1) and (2) examples from the textbook, (1) is 'kind of life' but (2) is kind of a life? I think, both (1) and (2) are OK because 'life' can be, in different contexts, understood as a countable and an uncountable noun). Am I right? And if so, why in the textbook they use both variants in exactly same context? Thank you!

Dear Gurus, Here is a sentence from a short dialogue between two friends: (1) Hi, Sam. I hear of your new business project. Should/Must we say (2) 'I've heard of your new business project.'?
